AST DHEA:
Provides support for critical hormonal production
DHEA May Have A Significant
Impact On Lean Body Mass
In one study conducted by D. Jakubowicz and colleagues, 22 men took 300 mg of DHEA
nightly for 30 days. They observed an average 27% fall in insulin levels. They also
found an 89% increase in IGF-1 (a powerful hormone with multi-faceted effects, most
notable its growth hormone-like effects on body composition), a 14% decrease in
body fat, and a 7.8% increase in lean body mass.
DHEA May Block Cortisol’s Catabolic (Breakdown) Effects
On Muscle Tissue
Other discussions at the DHEA conference centered on the Cortisol - DHEA relationship.
Cortisol is a catabolic (tissue breakdown) inducing stress hormone. Exercise has
been shown to significantly raise serum cortisol levels. These exercise- induced,
elevated cortisol levels may contribute profoundly to catabolic effects on muscle
tissue. DHEA has been shown to block some acute effects of stress induced cortisol
release.
Pure Pharmaceutical DHEA - Not Mexican Wild Yam
Because Mexican Wild Yam contains precursors to DHEA, many unscrupulous companies
are trying to masquerade this herb for the real thing. Mexican Wild Yam does not
contain any DHEA. Mexican Wild Yam has not been shown in any studies to have the
positive effects that real DHEA has. AST Sports Science uses only pharmaceutical
quality DHEA.
DHEA May Have A Profound Influence On Positive Body Composition Alteration Favoring
Lean Muscle Tissue Accrual
Yet another study revealed that high dose DHEA supplementation decreased body fat
levels by 31% while maintaining the same overall body weight in just 28 days. This
indicates a significant increase in lean body mass at the expense of body fat. This
study shows DHEA may have a profound ability to significantly alter body composition
to favor lean mass accrual.
DHEA May Cause Healthier - Leaner Eating Habits
Another study showed DHEA had an interesting effect on the choice of foods consumed.
A controlled animal study showed those administered with DHEA, when given a choice,
chose lean protein and carbohydrate foods as opposed to foods comprised of high
fat.
